"We definitely were under the winter elements today, which kind of felt good," said Anderson, from South Lake Tahoe, Calif. "It's snowy, the course is a little crazy, but I was so impressed with all the girls' riding and just happy to be out here in Vail. This win is different than the Olympics because I didn't have all the pressure on me."

Canada's Spencer O'Brien was second, followed by Switzerland's Isabel Derungs.
